EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Waistcoat from England, dating back to the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of clothing is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. The waistcoat features a stunning design with floral motifs embroidered using gold gilt strips wound around a silk fiber core. The intricate embroidery technique includes couching and padded couching, adding depth and texture to the garment. The fabric used for this waistcoat is a white silk plain weave, giving it a luxurious and elegant appearance. The buttons are made from wood and linen, also adorned with gold gilt strips in laid work. Every detail of this waistcoat reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during that era. This artifact represents not only British fashion but also European style in general during the 18th century. Its presence in an art gallery allows visitors to appreciate its historical significance as well as its artistic value. As we admire this heritage art piece, we can't help but wonder about its previous owner - who wore it? What occasions was it worn for? This waistcoat serves as a tangible link to our past, reminding us of the rich history behind our modern-day fashion choices.
